Therapeutic Approaches
Welcome!
Your desire for healing, growth, and positive change is attainable. Doing so takes courage and dedication! Being a person who benefited from psychotherapy as a young adult to the experienced therapist I'm today, I relate to the feelings that accompany the choice of looking inward in effort to heal and experience personal growth.
One of the most important aspects of therapy is having a strong therapeutic relationship with the therapist. This means being able to develop trust and build a connection with your therapist. Clients have told me my therapy style puts them at ease, feels conversational versus overtly clinical, and helps them quickly get to the core of their struggles.
I'll work to help you heal from painful life experiences, toxic relationships, losses, and overcome challenges in life. We'll work closely together, so you'll meet your therapeutic goals in a timely manner. I'll gently help you explore your feelings. You'll learn how to better handle difficult situations and manage critical self-talk. While simultaneously increasing your self-confidence, self-love, and personal empowerment.
